Priority Entry System

Priority Entry System

In 2014, the Legends Junior Tour Created a priority entry system for all 'open' events. Players who have distinguished themselves in previous Tier 1 and 2 competitions will be given priority over other players. Registration for each ‘Open’ event will begin approximately 10 weeks prior to the tournament start date (with the exception of the Winter Classic and James A. Ragan Memorial). The priority entry procedure will determine status of players on the pending list. The week of the deadline, players with Priority Status will be added to the field on a space-available basis. If the tournament is not full after the deadline, entries will be processed in the order they were received.

***Players who meet the Priority Entry System criteria are not guaranteed a spot in the field, but will be added on a space-available basis.***

When registering for any ‘Open’ event, all players will be placed on the pending/wait list. A player will not be charged the tournament entry fee until they have been accepted into the tournament. At that point, the credit card on file will be charged the tournament entry fee. Please check the championship information page for specific eligibility requirements for each championship.
